Questioner: As Salaamu Alaikum Yaa Shaikh, you have with you one of the Salafies from Egypt.

Shaikh Ahmad Bazmool: Proceed, HayyaakAllah

Questioner: Shaikh may I ask a question?

Shaikh Ahmad Bazmool: Go Ahead.

Questioner: May I record it?

Shaikh Ahmad Bazmool: Go Ahead.

Questioner: Shaikh a big fitnah has come up here in Egypt. We would like your guidance (in this affair). We hear Shaikh Muhammad Sa'eed Raslaan speaking bad about Shaikh Muhammad Ibraaheem and we hear Shaikh Muhammad Ibraaheem speaking bad about Shaikh Raslaan. We would like your advice, which one do you advise us to seek knowledge from?

Shaikh Ahmad Bazmool: By Allah, Yaa Akhee may Allah reward you; the one that I know and that which has reached me is that Shaikh Khaalid 'Abdur Rahmaan, Shaikh Abu 'Abdil A'ala Al Misree, and a group of students of knowledge from Egypt praise Shaikh Raslaan; however they do not praise this second one you mentioned ŭ Muhammad Ibraaheem-. Rather, they mention (Muhammad Ibraaheem's) mistakes in the Salafy Minhaj. Also I know (personally) that Shaikh Rabee' praises Shaikh Raslaan. I have also heard that Muhammad Ibraaheem visited Shaikh Rabee' but like it is said or like Shaikh Rabee' himself said with regards to the question when there is a deference of opinion about a person (i.e. paraphrasing Shaikh Rabee'), ŭGoing to the one whom there is no difference of opinion about him takes precedence.ŭ

So Al Hamdulillah the Mashaayikh with you in Egypt are well known, benefit from them and refer to them. (The likes of): Shaikh Hasan Al Bannaa, Shaikh Khaalid ŭAbdur Rahmaan and Shaikh Abu 'Abdil A'ala. They are well known for knowledge,Sunnah and Minhaj. And Shaikh Raslaan as I have mentioned has been praised by those Mashaayikh, hayyaakumullah.
